41 She’s missing (1/2)

”The wind is getting harder outside. It looks like this will be a nasty snow storm.” father said. ”Where is Queenie by the way?”

Troy was with my father walking towards the lounge area. ”I haven't seen her since I left this afternoon because of some things from work.” he answered.

Shawn was seen running towards them. He was out of breath panting heavily. ”Have you seen Queenie?” he asked.

”No. Wasn't she just with you?” Troy said.

”Yes but when she said she lost her necklace we parted ways to find it.” Shawn answered.

”She's missing?” Troy said surprised.

”Are you looking for Queenie?” Julia just arrived. ”I saw her at the entrance a while ago. She said she was searching for her necklace with a ring on it. I said I saw it down the slope where we met this afternoon.”

All of them was looking at Julia with shock.

”When did you see her? What time?” Shawn said a little loudly. He was shaking Julia by the shoulder.

”Ouch Shawn it hurts.” Julia said.

”Calm down Shawn.” Troy said. ”Ms. Julia what time did you last see Queenie?” he asked calmly.

Julia looked at the time. ”It was roughly an hour ago.” she said. ”But she said it was not important so she won't look for it. I also said there was a snow storm coming so she wouldn't have gone there. Would she?” Julia asked confused.

Shawn darted out, running like his life was on the line.
